CASE #2

A man aged 30 years presented with a complaint of acne. It was observed that the glands of his nipples were notable for protuberant papules that had a red, yellow, and whitish hue. The papules did not itch, burn, or hurt.

The man reported no history of discharge from the nipples. Palpation of the papules was unremarkable. When rubbed, the papule became a little more firm. The patient was not noted to have similar lesions or rosacea on the face. A decision was made to take a biopsy of the lesions.
